Freedom

Sarah Palin rides a Harley for “freedom.”

I consider what freedom means to me…

I’m free to buy things. I’m free to go into debt. I’m free to need a job until I die. I’m free to be vulnerable to economic forces beyond my control. I’m free to want cosmetic products, even surgery, to match commercial ideals. I’m free to less than willingly participate in a hyper-efficient market economy consuming the natural world. I’m free to be a slave or slave master.
